Surviving With An Sss-Rank Inventory Chapter 138
Episode 138:
Beginning of the Eastern Demon World.
People called it the cursed swamp.
Prian climbed onto the dark, gray earth and felt the ominous wind of the devil.
Perhaps because it is the entrance to a swamp, the entire area is gray, but the characteristic of the area is that it gradually becomes black as you enter.
‘It arrived sooner than expected.’
Prian hurriedly moved following Dio’s words that Descruger was preparing for this expedition.
As a result, the Allied forces were able to arrive at Makyeong earlier than expected.
According to Solari’s revelation, time was running out, so Prion was in a hurry.
The Allied forces, which had traveled from Bertio to this place in a month, have just entered the beginning of the horse race.
And as if it had been waiting for this, the ground began to shake violently.
Kugugugugu –
Thousands of ghouls crawling on the ground, raising thick dust, and skeletons crawling up from under the ground, cackling.
The Banshee unit floating in the air in a blurry shape above was extremely gloomy.
thud!
Above all, the presence of the enormous chimeras and the headless knights, heavily armed like knights, nestled among them was on a different level from other miscellaneous creatures.
Even Prian, who had fought through countless battlefields, was appalled by its immense power.
‘There are so many that it’s disgusting.’
But we can’t back down after coming here.
Among the soldiers with whom he would live and die, Freen encountered one who was waiting for his signal.
On the surface, Freen was in charge of this expedition, but he led everything.
But strangely enough, this was not unfamiliar to Prian.
He was the main character who stopped Luave with a small number of troops.
Prian exchanged glances with Dio and nodded.
I hope that this expedition will be successful as planned.

“Hwiyu~ It’s amazing!”
“A monster of that size at the beginning? this is right?”
“…Maybe half of them will fall out?”
“What are you worried about? We are elite. “If I cared about my life, I wouldn’t have applied.”
“It’s a waste of me.”
Those who maintained their natural virtue even in the face of a large army of undead were none other than elite mercenaries belonging to the ‘Blackfang Mercenaries’ under the Mercenary King Agram.
However, unlike them, the private soldiers of the nobles who volunteered from various places maintained their composure without letting go of tension.
Of course, everyone may have been afraid deep down.
However, these are all people who volunteered for their own reasons.
Someone calls.
Someone’s reputation.
Someone has justice.
As if they weren’t just a ragtag group of people gathered together, the battle line they created never backed down even in the face of the most vicious undead army.
“This sounds like fun.”
Galetto, who was at the forefront of the front line, warmed up with his clasped palms facing forward.
“I will take the lead.”
“Don’t move too hastily. “You haven’t forgotten our mission, have you?”
Aldur whispered behind Galletto, who was ready to run out at any time.
“Hey old man. Isn’t it our job to clean up the demon beasts? “It seems like Elaine knows that too.”
Galletto pointed to Elaine, who, like him, was preparing for battle.
Elaine was quietly mumbling as she looked at the battlefield.
“There are three types of entities you need to watch out for… It will be difficult to stop them without loss.”
“Hmm…”
Aldur looked around at his companions and gathered mana as if he had no choice.
There was a mission given by the saint, but as Galeto said, the five sword people had a duty to protect them from demonic beasts.
If irreparable problems arise from conserving strength here, people will definitely blame the Luna Church.
Even though he had five swords with him, he couldn’t protect the people.
-Crrrrrrrrr! Hey!
-Kaooooo!
-Life… annihilation…
The flock of demonic beasts began to line up their camp.
This probably means that there is someone who commands them.
And the Eastern Allied Forces that fought against it also did not sit still.
Buu-buu-
Two short trumpet sounds.
This was a signal to wait before rushing in, and Galletto’s expression was wrinkled when he recognized this.
“What, wasn’t it an attack from our side?”
Galletto expressed his dissatisfaction, but soon stepped forward as if it didn’t matter.
Rather, he was looking forward to taking the lead and fighting alone.
The military is only a hindrance to him.
A bloody fight risking life and death in the middle of enemy territory was something Galetto wanted.
Now that the Luna Church had not taken command, Galletto had no intention of listening to the prince’s orders.
“Wait. “There is still time for you to act.”
But did they know in advance about Galletto’s unexpected behavior?
A man who blocks Galletto’s path by riding a huge black horse with his riders.
It was the 3rd prince, Prian.
“I didn’t know if your precious prince would have time to care about us. “It must be very busy.”
Although Galletto disapproved of Prian, he spoke to him politely.
Before this expedition departed, the Five-Handed Sword Prian was acknowledged as the general commander of all forces.
That’s why Galleto is incomprehensible.
Why would Freean want to control them when they should be concerned about the first battle that is about to take place?
As if under surveillance.
“Don’t worry, I delegated this command to someone else. “By my command, of course.”
Prian said, pointing somewhere, and Galletto was soon able to recognize the person to whom the prince had personally handed over command.
* * *
“atmosphere! Spearmen and shield soldiers go forward! Cross each other and build a barrier!”
Dio shouted, keeping his eyes on the numerous legions of demonic beasts gathered at the entrance.
Accordingly, the flag bearers holding the imperial flag crossed the ranks and conveyed Dio’s signal to everyone.
Dio temporarily took over command in preparation for the decisive battle with Deathrugger that was to take place from the beginning.
Of course, to suit the tastes of the prince who needed to make a big contribution this time, Dio was given the cloak worn by imperial commanders by Prian.
This meant acting as a direct subordinate of 3rd Prince Prion, a member of the Empire, rather than a member of Bertio.
‘After all, it’s the imperial army. The chain of command is clear.’
There are quite a few situations in the Order Board where you have to command a large army.
Thanks to this, Dio, who clearly remembered the empire’s command system, was able to skillfully move his troops.
However, the Eastern Allied Forces gathered now are not comprised entirely of imperial troops.
It would be difficult for the nobles’ private soldiers or mercenaries who were not accustomed to such large-scale military operations to unite with the imperial army… but
Dio, who was also clearly aware of this problem, sent them separately to the rear.
Among them, measures were taken to ensure that especially strong elites could be commanded separately through Agram.
This was thanks to the command handed over in Prian’s name.
But the five swords are different.
These were beings who would not be pleased with Dio giving orders, so Dio asked Prian to do it.
-Please personally watch over them to prevent them from acting unexpectedly.
No matter how young they were, they wouldn’t be able to act hastily if the prince was in front of them.
Kugugugugu- The
ground rang loudly as the demonic beast army that Descruger was commanding began to move slowly, seemingly in perfect formation.
“Keep waiting! The front line is ten steps forward! “Everyone else just wait!”
At Dio’s command, the Allied Forces quickly created a long wall.
The front row is shield soldiers, and behind them are spear soldiers.
The maneuver was abandoned from the beginning.
Dio knew that the number of opponents was much greater and that Deathrugger’s demonic beast army was confident in its ability to break through.
However, in the current situation where there is a difference in numbers, it is a formation that may be disadvantageous.
Nevertheless, Dio still waited for the right time, and the soldiers, who had been entrusted with the prince, remained in their positions without saying anything.
Kugugugugu –
As time passes, the army of demonic beasts that were like dark clouds begins to grow larger.
When the distance between them was about 100 meters, the waiting soldiers became agitated.
Can I really just stay like this? And that’s it.
Dio’s voice, unaware of the soldiers’ feelings, rang out again.
“atmosphere! Hold the line!”
“That idiot! “What on earth are you doing?”
The soldiers listened to Dio surprisingly well.
However, ironically, among the leadership, not among the soldiers, there appeared someone who went against the commander’s orders.
“Elain!”
Aldur called out to Elaine, who ran forward without any time to stop him.
He tried to grab Elaine with a hasty binding spell, but she escaped even that and rushed forward.
Elaine has no confidence in Dio’s commanding ability.
Moreover, as an elf, she couldn’t understand Dio’s tactics at all.
The front line created by the numerically inferior Allied Forces was in a formation that seemed to accept that powerful Demonic Beast Corps head on.
It would be okay if the strong players were concentrated in the center, but if other areas collapsed, the Allied forces could be immediately surrounded.
So Elaine decided to do what she could.
Whether humans die or not is of no concern to Elaine.
However, in order to reach Acrich, the ostensible goal of this expedition, the loss of troops had to be reduced to a minimum.
Anyway, the Demon King is also the elves’ archenemy.
Liquid –
Elaine pulled out the bow she was carrying on her back and drew it.
Clearly, there were no arrows hit by the demonstration.
However, a magic arrow with a brilliant blue light was fired in accordance with Elaine’s direction.
Bababababaak!
Elaine’s arrows are fired right in front of the advancing demon beast army.
It wasn’t a mistake.
Elaine purposely blocked the way for the large army of demonic beasts to enter.
I wonder if she can stop them with just a few arrows, but she has five swords.
Hwaaaaaaa!
Elaine’s magic arrows, which were lined up in a row, began to change in an instant.
Quad deud deuk-!
The magic arrow imbued with Elaine’s power turned into a huge tree root, which soared through the ominous gray earth of the Demon World.
“Wow! “Is it huge?”
“Is this the power of the Luna Church?”
The soldiers each let out an exclamation as the vines created by Elaine stopped the advance of the magical beast army for a moment.
Even when I saw it with my own eyes, it was hard to believe that one person could have this much power.
But unlike the soldiers, there was someone who clicked his tongue.
‘Tsk, you went out on your own.’
But it doesn’t matter.
It was within Dio’s expectations that Elaine and the other five swords would act as they pleased.
Immediately after giving the order to prepare for the charge to the riders waiting for his command, Dio hurriedly motioned to Sepia.
“sepia. “Are you ready?”
“yes.”
“Based on the vine that Elaine created. “We will be able to block it to a wider range than originally planned.”
“Leave it to me.”
Turn variables into opportunities.
Dio purposely tied the feet of the five swords using Prion to prevent them from running wild.
Because they didn’t want to lose to them the experience that they should have monopolized.
However, Elaine ignored Prian’s orders and moved as she pleased.
In that case, there is only one thing Dio needs to do.
Using Elaine’s power, the demon beast army is quickly disposed of.
That was before the five swords came forward in earnest.
Woe!
The dazzling light emitted by sepia spread widely.
The light covering the vines created by Elaine was literally instantaneous.
Before the Allies could fully understand what was happening, a pillar of light rose up.
No, I just felt like I was rising.
A dazzling pillar of light fell from the sky just like when it sealed Lennon away.
Jiiiing –
Kwaaaa –
Dozens of pillars of light settled between the vines.
It was as powerful as a waterfall, and the ground it touched created a strong wind.
In addition, the raindrops connecting between the pillars were reminiscent of barbed wire.
-Keeeeee!
-Crrrrrrrrr!
If Elaine’s magic merely blocked the advance of the demonic beast army, Sepia’s divine power burned the nearby demonic beasts and undead.
As soon as that happened, the formation of the magic beast army, which seemed to only look forward and move forward, collapsed in an instant.
It’s a sacred power that makes that fearsome demon feel fear!
This is truly….
“She is a saint! The sun protects us!”
While people were watching the pillar of light with fascination, someone shouted among the crowd.
It was Roberto’s shout mixed in with the soldiers.
He was faithfully carrying out his role as wind catcher according to Dio’s orders.
To inform the Allied Forces.
A message to those who doubt the existence of the sun.
As if to tell you not to worry because the saint who guides you to the path of the sun is with you.
“Oooh!”
“The demon beasts are afraid!”
“Solari is with us!”
Starting with Roberto, the soldiers chanted praise for Solarie and the saint.
The reason the demonic beast appears to shrink from divine power is not simply due to its mood.
In reality, the demon beasts and undead were unable to approach the sepia pillar of light and took a step back.
The soldiers’ momentum soared high enough to pierce the sky, and as if responding, Dio once again sent a signal to the riders.
Buuuu—
The sound of the trumpet announcing the advance echoes throughout the demonic landscape.
Perhaps this may be humanity’s first declaration of war against the devil.
